If you shut down apps in this manner, do they restart if you restart, or change battery?
Thanks in advance..
Settings>applications >running services. Click on whatever you want to stop. I actually have a shortcut on my homescreen for running services...
It has been made pretty clear on these forums that you should not be using a task killer.

i have a question related to this: How many background processes are normal to be running at once? I have dozens going even though I have not opened them (dozens = over 60 at once). Even apps that I NEVER use like the peep thing, flicker, friend stream, vz nav, etc. tons and tons. is this normal?
yeah, it's normal. i've considered rooting just to be able to uninstall the stock bloat, but i don't think it would have much effect on battery life so i don't think i'll root for that reason. i could be wrong, but i think the only significant improvements in battery life will come from ota fixes/updates and maybe gb.
Combine that with set cpu and the ability to overclock/undervolt and you really start getting the most out of your Thunderbolt in terms of performance.
oh i didn't realize you can both overclock and undervolt, is that right? i might look into undervolting and low voltage kernels but will wait for the first major update before pursuing that. i'm still seeing people having major and minor problems with their custom roms...
and at this point i'm not sure exactly where sense ends and android begins, so that has me holding out too.
actually, i'm not sure anything can substantially improve battery life-the biggest problem seems to be the big screen
